At 4.05 pm President Partridge opens the meeting, thanking attendees for their participation in previous meetings, and praising the Council for their work over the past two meetings in the year. He also recommends the Council to address some of the issues raised in previous meetings about addressing prior concerns, such as diversity, openness, etc. The following RSAI Council members, ex officio members, LRPC members, and invitees join the meeting:

1. Apologies (Annex 1) Maria Abreu (Councillor-At-Large)

2. Approval of the minutes of the Aug. 31 2020 online meeting (Annex 2) (3 mins) Mark Partridge calls the Council for approving the minutes of the Aug. 31 2020 online meeting, including the addendum proposed (Annex 2). Neil Reid seconds the motion. Minutes are approved unanimously.

3. “Final” recommendations from the Strategic Committee (Mark Partridge and Jean-Claude Thill, Annex 3) 30 mins—presentation and questions/comments [decision at next Council meeting] Prof. Partridge leaves the floor to Prof. Thill, chair of the Strategic Planning Committee, for explaining their final recommendations. Jean-Claude Thill explains that the short document is to be intended in conjunction with previous committee documents. The first point relates to the future role of the RSAI President. Taking comments from Council members into account, the committee suggests now to maintain the rotation principle, the President’s functions, and the 2-years term. The second point relates to the proposal to include Vice Presidents in the Council, one from each supranational minus the one expressing its President on rotation, and altogether forming a committee helping the President on executive decisions. This creates a collective executive body sharing responsibilities, seeking advise from top-level executives from other organizations. This body would also smoothen the work of Council committees in charge of specific issues for the Association. The third point relates to the role of the Executive Director. Given the recent developments of the COVID-pandemic and the related budget constraints, changing this position could not be feasible. However, one thing that could make this position less heavy would be to move the World Congress from the ED’s responsibility to one of the VPs. Moreover, the strategic planning committee still recommends to change the frequency of the world congress from once every two years to once every four years. Also, they would suggest to hold it jointly with one of the supra-regional sections. Lastly, the committee recommends to clarify the strategic nature of the LRPC rather than having to deal with minor issues. Mark Partridge adds that from what he understood from the Strategic Planning committee the role of VPs would be to act as liason between RSAI and Supranational sections, so as to minimize decisions by RSAI President and ED that may turn out to be unpalatable for Supranational Sections. Eveline Van Leeuwen suggests to limit the last 5 President to be on board of the LRPC. André Torre asks about the role of Council members as observers on the LRPC. Prof. Van Leeuwen adds that having VPs travel on behalf of the President would reduce the environmental impact of the association. Prof. Thill adds that having VPs on board would imply a more collegial approach to leadership. On the role of Council observers, Prof. Partridge explains that 12 years ago Roger Stough replied to the need to get the Council and the LRPC closer by means of having two Council members act as observers on the LRPC, later on also with voting rights. Prof. Dentinho modified the rules so that the RSAI President and ED would become observing members with voting rights. Now to those two we add two more observers, which, according to Prof. Partridge, should also get voting rights. Prof. Thill adds that the two extra members should be definitely added. Prof. Thill adds that the fact that all previous Presidents are included is due to the moment when this was decided; the Association was newer and had less previous presidents, but now with many senior members of the community, this may be the time for capping the amount of prior Presidents to be members of the LRPC. Prof. Partridge adds he would like to change the way the LRPC meetings take place. He would advise the LRPC, following advise from the Strategic Planning Committee, meet way before the Council does. Prof. Franklin suggests to actually flip things over and meet after the Council. Prof. Thill adds that this may be a good idea given the structure of the LRPC and the stage of career at which many LRPC members are. Francisco Carballo agrees with Prof. Franklin and adds that the focus of the LRPC should be on strategic issues. André Torre adds that he agrees with many recommendations proposed so far; however, regarding the role and place of the LRPC, he also has some comments. In his view, the LRPC should indeed focus on strategic issues, and the best way to do that would be to separate the timing of the LRPC meetings, so that they don’t follow, or anticipate, RSAI Council meetings strictly. Prof. Franklin agrees on the need to restructure the way RSAI Council and LRPC interact. Peter Batey adds that decoupling of meetings may help and avoid unnecessary clashes. He adds that previously, the LRPC acted thoroughly to nominate future Presidents. He also adds there would be support for capping the number of members on the LRPC., concluding the ED may represent a bridge between the two bodies. Lastly, Andrea Caragliu explains he’s concerned that by totally decoupling meeting, the LRPC would be left with no strategic advice to provide. A motion is proposed to report to the LRPC on this matter. The motion is unanimously approved. Mark Partridge agrees to write a letter to the LRPC, asking Peter Batey to somewhat anticipate the discussion that took place during the Council meeting.

4. 2020 Budget and discuss post-Covid financial viability of RSAI/Supra-regions/Sections (Andrea Caragliu & Mark Partridge; Annex 4) (8 mins) Andrea Caragliu explains the situation with the budget proposal, concluding the situation for RSAI finances is stable and solid for 2021. Mark Partridge adds that in the far future, things may change and not necessarily people would reconvene to in presence congresses, and this should be taken somewhat into account. University budgets for travel may not easily come back. Thinking of the future in creative manners should certainly be undertaken and this proactive approach would allow the Association avoiding major issues that are clearly looming in the horizon. André Torre praises the quality of the budget, and also notes that the agreement with Wiley provides additional finances. However, other sections do not have the same source of income. ERSA, for instance, suffers major losses this year, due to not holding their congress in presence. Another concern is that of national sections; most of them transferred their fees to RSAI, but next year this may not be possible. Sandy Dall’erba agrees that the COVID period may not disappear quickly. This may be turned into an opportunity by enlarging the scope of RSAI events through digital technologies. Also, he believes that the world congress should be jointly organized with a supranational congress, not to cannibalize attendees.

5. Draft Mission Statement for the RSAI (Budy Resosudarmo; Annex 5) (12 mins)— discussion/feedback only Mark Partridge summarizes the mission statement from the LRPC. Rachel Franklin asks about the chance for the LRPC to define Regional Science. Sandy Dall’erba adds that there is an increasing interest in network economics; in their view, this would be a new field but in fact regional science has been doing this for 60 years now. Network is thus a keyword in our discipline. Peter Batey promises he’ll report these views to the LRPC. Patricio Aroca adds that despite its academic success, you seldom find this field among recognized disciplines (for instance when applying for a grant). Mark Partridge concludes that a definition of the discipline would be important, and in this view the LRPC may give a further hand. Serena Erendira Serrano-Oswald adds that the word ‘culture’ should also be taken on board. Eveline Van Leeuwen suggests that our discipline could be difficult to grasp, and thus define; a range of topics should thus be included in the definition, but the crucial issue in the definition should deal with what is ‘regional’. André Torre suggests it is crucial that regional science is not at all limited to economics; many new members now come from other disciplines (such as geography, planning etc.).

6. Replacement of Graham Clarke as Co-Editor of the RSAI Newsletter (Martijn Smit, 5 mins) Graham Clarke is retiring as of September 2020. In the past he would correct the proofs and provide networks. Prof. Caragliu adds that an additional budget should be allocated for the additional editor; 1,500 € could be split between the two. Rachel Franklin suggests to move to 1,000 Euros each. Andrea Caragliu agrees, and suggests to start with 1,000 Euros each, and then if more needs would be felt, then this will be taken into consideration by the Council. Eduardo Haddad suggests to save money by not printing newsletters. This will be moved to another council meeting for discussion.

7. Selection of 2021 Nurturing Talent initiative proposals (Andrea Caragliu; Annex 6) (5 mins) Andrea Caragliu explains the committee proposal. Mark Partridge asks confirmation from LARSA that the 1,000 Euros going from LARSA to the AECR event are correct. André Torre remarks that the way the proposal was made came out of a much improved process, going through many discussions and feedbacks among committee members. The Council approves unanimously the proposal. Mark Partridge finally recommends supranational sections other than ERSA to also participate by submitting good proposals to the Council.

8. Results of the elections of three new Councillors at large entering their positions from Jan. 1, 2021 (Andrea Caragliu) (2 mins) Andrea Caragliu explains the situation, and explains that LARSA is missing a member. Serena Erendira Serrano-Oswald explains why this is the case – LARSA’s Council is in the process of restructuring the composition of its own Executive Board. Mark Partridge suggests to urge LARSA to make a final decision within the end of the year. The RSAI Council agrees to recommend LARSA to elect their representative within Dec. 31, 2020.

9. Activation of RSAI Committees (Mark Partridge) (40 mins)—More details of a possible plan will be emailed before meeting. Mark Partridge explains that Andrea Caragliu will have to inform supranational sections that they’ll have to have a member for the Honors committee, and on the Diversity Committee. As for the Communications Committee, these will tentatively include Eveline Van Leeuwen and Sandy Dell’erba. It is proposed that a decision will be made within Jan. 21, 2021 electronically by the RSAI Council, and the ED will inform the Council about their position. Sandy Dall’erba recommends these Committees and their members talk to each other. André Torre agrees with Mark Partridge and Sandy Dell’erba, and also suggests to exploit the global network for being as inclusive as possible. Mark Partridge instead proposes Sandy Dell’erba and Eveline Van Leeuwen for Committee number 4 (Communications committee). André Torre reminds the Council that he would be a candidate for this committee, as reported on the minutes. Rachel Franklin adds that, while all these people would be good choices, including non-members of the association would be beneficial. In fact, Prof. Partridge adds that the involvement of the RSAI’s general membership as suggested by the strategic planning committee would make these committees more effective. Mark Partridge adds that the committee could be activated now, and changed at a later stage. Rachel Franklin expresses concern for not repeating mistakes already made in the past. Mark Partridge proposes to nominate the two members from the Council, and then organize an online ballot to fill in the third member of the committee. Mark Partridge warns the Council that not selecting committee now three months will be lost. Sandy Dell’erba argues that eliciting participation from individual members would make the process even more open. Mark Partridge replies that this proposal was already discussed in the previous meeting. The Council agrees to organize a meeting in February 2021 to organize and activate committees and decide about awards committees’ composition.

10. Proposal to create a RSAI Global Scientific Seminar Series (Andrea Caragliu) (7 mins) (Annex 7) Andrea Caragliu explains the proposal. Rachel Franklin argues that many competing seminar series exist, so this proposal would have to be marketed. Rosella Nicolini suggests to organize proposals from national sections that cannot afford travel to present online. The Council unanimously agrees.

11. Replacement of Sharmistha Bagchi-Sen in Papers in Regional Science’s Editorial team (Annex 8) (5 mins) Prof. Capello reports that Prof. Sharmistha Bagchi-Sen is stepping down from the editorial team of PiRS. The editorial board suggests that Michael Lahr could be an excellent option. Prof. Lahr accepted the informal invitation only under the condition that he will step down in December 2021 when the editorial team’s term will end. The Council unanimously agrees.

12. Changes in RSPP’s Editorial Board (Tomaz Dentinho) (5 mins) (Annex 9) Tomaz Dentinho proposes a change in the editorial board of the journal. Rachel Franklin asks what is the share of women on the board. Tomaz Dentinho explains about the constraints to which the decision was subject. The Council discusses about the importance of gender balance in journals editorial teams. The Council suggests Prof. Dentinho to enlarge the editorial board with more women regional scientists. The RSAI Council unanimously agrees.

13. Report on the organization of the 2021 World Congress (Abdellatif Khattabi) (2 mins) The Council is informed that the procedure to organize the 2021 World Congress has been reactivated as promised, and that the association is also considering an option to move it online in case global health conditions will not be restored to full normality by the time of the congress (May 25-28, 2021). Another substantial update will be presented at the next Council meeting, due February 2021.

14. AOB None to report

15. Next meeting The next meeting will be organized (in online mode) in February 2021; the exact date will be decided with a doodle in January 2021.

At 7 pm CET Mark Partridge adjourns the meeting.

Annex 1 - Apologies

As of Nov. 13, 2020 the ED received no apology from Council members.

RSAI | University of Azores | Rua Capitão João D'Ávila | 9700-042-Angra do Heroísmo, Azores, Portugal | www.regionalscience.org | E-mail: [email protected] Minutes O NLINE RSAI C OUNCIL M EETING RSAI Council Meeting – Aug. 31, 2020, Monday, 2 pm-6 pm CET, Zoom 1. Apologies At 2.08 pm CET Mark Partridge welcomes Council, members ex-officio members and invited members. Apologies have been received from Rachel Franklin and Eveline Van Leeuwen.

The following RSAI Council members, ex officio members, LRPC members, and invitees join the meeting:

• Abdellatif Khattabi (AMSR President) • Amit Batabyal (Councillor-at-Large) • André Torre (ERSA Representative and President) • Andrea Caragliu (RSAI Executive Director) • Brian Kim (PRSCO Representative) • Carlos Azzoni (LARSCA representative) • Daniela Constantin (Councillor-At-Large) • Eduardo Haddad (Incoming RSAI President) • Eveline Van Leeuwen (ERSA representative) • Francisco Carballo-Cruz (ERSA Rrepresentative); • Jean-Claude Thill (Chair of the Restructuring Committee and Past President) • Kingsley Haynes (LRPC member) • Lily Kiminami (PRSCO representative) • Maria Abreu (Councillor-At-Large) • Mark Partridge (RSAI President) • Martijn Smit (RSAI Newsletter Editor) • Neil Reid (NARSC Executive Director and Representative) • Patricio Aroca (LARSCA representative) • Peter Batey (LRPC and RSAI Archivist) • Peter Stenberg (NARSC representative) • Rachel Franklin (PRSCO Representative and President) • Roberta Capello (EiC PiRS) • Rosella Nicolini (Councillor-At-Large) • Sandy Dall’Erba (NARSC Representative) • Serena Serrano (LARSCA Representative and President) • Sumona Bandyopadhyay (Councillor-At-Large) • Tomaz Dentinho (RSPP EiC)

2. Approval of the minutes of the Jul 21 meeting The Council unanimously approves the minutes of the Jul. 21 Council meeting.

3. Nurturing Talent Andrea Caragliu explains the likely shape of the budget for Nurturing Talent Initiatives for 2021. Given that many events haven’t been held physically due to the COVID pandemic, the situation foresees three main outcomes for the 2020 events: some have been held regularly at the beginning of the year, some have been postponed, thus leaving RSAI budget available, some instead have been utterly 1 canceled. The ED proposes to use the money left on the 2020 to co-finance future events to be held in 2021, also in the light of the tight budget 2020 will close with. The proposal is unanimously approved. Mark Partridge reports that Janice Madden accepted to join the Fellows selection committee. He also reminds attending members that the Council elects two members on the LRPC; Francisco Carballo and Evelin Van Leeuwen were in touch with Mark Partridge, and they agreed to serve as representatives. The Council agrees unanimously, with the exception of Neil Reid (abstained).

4. Building Bridges Andrea Caragliu explains that the money collected by the association is going to be lower this year. This is clearly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, that is affecting the capacity of national and supranational sections to organize events, that are typically the main source of income for many learnt societies. As a consequence, the RSAI too is also expected to register some losses, that are at the time of the discussion difficult to quantify with precision. Mark Partridge takes the chance to explain the situation with the Mogador hotel in Marrakech, which was expected to host the World Congress in June 2020. A first installment of 5,000 Euros is left on their bank account as a deposit, and he proposes to leave it there as a deposit for the organization of the 2021 version of the World Congress. Roberta Capello asks about the situation of the organization of the World Congress. Andrea Caragliu explains that the RSAI is currently renegotiating with the hotel in order to allow a flexible plan to leave room for hosting a physical event, a remote event, or a mixed form event for the period May 25-28, 2021. Mark Partridge also adds that the RSAI is trying to anticipate the event as early in the year as possible, but taking the dates of 2021 Ramadan into account.

5. Report and accounts 2019 Andrea Caragliu explains the 2020 budget. Figures suggest that the Association is financially stable, with a few items on the budget being suggested by the Auditor (who otherwise approved the way the budget has been structured) to be attributed to the time where they are expected to deliver their utility, rather than when they take place. The ED concludes that among potential losses, the RSAI is likely to have to count the support given to Building Bridges travel fees for young scholars aimed at attending the World Congress in Marrakech, that was postponed due to the pandemic. André Torre comments that the Association is running smoothly. He says that 2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, and in particular for ERSA. He says ERSA expects 110,000 Euros losses, because the European congress was not held physically. He is asking some fees to be waived. Mark Partridge replies simply waving fees could jeopardize our Assocation’s finances. André is just warning because the ERSA Council is facing very tight financial constraints. Tomaz Dentinho suggests to use the savings from the events that this year to partially cover these loses. In this sense, Mark Partridge asks Andrea Caragliu how many fees were received so far from Supranationals. Andrea Caragliu reports on the situation so far. Roberta Capello adds that André Torre raised a crucial point. She also recommends Presidents (for the RSAI, the President Elect Eduardo Haddad should be included) and EDs of the Supranationals form a committee to agree on possible losses by the supranationals and on ways to possibly minimize them.

6. Councillors ending their position 2 Andrea Caragliu (ED) reports that Prof. Amit Batabyal (Rochester Institute of Technology), Prof. Sumana Bandyopadhyay (Kolkata University), and Prof. Rosella Nicolini (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) are ending their term as representatives (Councillors at large) on the RSAI council. These three positions will be open to a public online ballot to all members in good standing of the Association, starting from September 2020. In this sense, he wishes an active participation from national and supranational sections will take place in these crucial elections.

7. PiRS Editorial Report Roberta Capello explains that the impact factor of the journal went up from 2.02 to 2.2 in the last year, whereas most other Journals either remained stable or declined in this respect. Moreover, this increase does not come from specific highly cited papers, but by the fact that cited papers have grown in number. The Journal has also now got totally rid of the previous (substantial) backlog. She also believes no major concern seems to be there. The contract with Wiley, thanks to Jean-Claude Thill, is much more effective. The Editorial Board is effective and very well-gender balanced.

8. RSPP Editorial Report Tomaz Dentinho says the Journal is trying to reach an expected IF higher than 1, but that this may not be enough. The attempt to reach an IF will be tried in 2021 or 2022, depending on how statistics will evolve. The Journal published many special issues, most of which are assembled by collecting papers presented at the various sessions organized at major supranational events such as PRSCO and NARSC congresses. André Torre commends the work of both Editors in Chief. Sandy Dall’Erba also praises the Journal Editors, and wonders whether there exists a mechanism to increase the money transferred to them. Tomaz Dentinho replies there is no mechanism and that some synergies should be found between Nurturing Talent initiatives and journal travels. Roberta Capello says instead that the money is not so small. She instead praises that the money spent for Elisabete Martins is very well spent. Amit Batabyal says that Henk Folmer and he are striving to increase citations for the Journal they are managing (Letters in Spatial and Resource Sciences), warning RSPP not to embark in excessive numbers of self-citations. Serena Erendira-Serrano and Maria Abreu leave the virtual room at 3.50 pm CET; Brian Kim leaves the virtual room at 4 pm CET.

9. RSAI awards Mark Partridge summarizes the outcome of the selection of 2020 Fellows. Rosella Nicolini thanks for the explanation and says nevertheless that given the very limited time available to review Bob Stimson’s proposals it would be better to postpone the vote on this document to the next Council. Roberta Capello adds the document should be presented to the Council. Mark Partridge explains the document in detail. Rosella Nicolini adds she is puzzled because 1. Apparently Bob Stimson’s proposal seems to talk about a reduction in the number of Fellows elected, and 2. RSAI can have no more than 12 members, and no less than 8. Roberta Capello adds she does not know what would happen in case the minimum threshold thereby suggested is not reached. 3 Amit Batabyal explains that there are issues with the ways Fellows are elected. Andrea Caragliu explains how the procedure went on this year. Jean-Claude Thill adds that as a President of this same committee, he intended the committee as an authority simply managing the procedure. Kingsley Haines adds that Fellows above 80 could be labeled “Retired Fellows”, so as to leave room for not meeting the above mentioned upper constraints. André Torre suggests to increase the number of RSAI Fellows in order to work as ambassadors for the RSAI. This motion is approved; 12 vote in favor, 2 against.

10.Absence of women nominees for RSAI awards (Mark Partridge) For reasons of time constraints, the point is left for future discussion.

11.Follow-up to the discussion on the proposals presented in the White Paper (Restructuring Committee) Mark Partridge explains the procedure that lead the Strategic Planning Committee to review their first proposal over the last few months. The Committee has focused on the short run changes they are proposing, which deals with the creation of committees. Jean Claude Thill takes over explaining in detail the Committee’s present proposals. A first proposal is to hold longer meetings, to tackle complex matters more comprehensively. A second proposal is to create a Honors/Award Committee, that deals with the organization of all Award Committees to centralize the works of the various committees. A third recommendation is about the Nurturing Talent Initiative, where diversity (also geographical) should be enhanced. A fourth recommendation deals with the creation of a Publication Committee; a Honors Committee; a Diversity and Inclusion Committee; a Young Scholars Committee; a Communications Committee; a Public Relations Committee; and a Finance Committee. Tomaz Dentinho stresses that a great role is played by the President’s management. He claims that some of the Committees may find it hard to pinpoint their tasks and thereby not deliver an efficient outcome. Tasks would have to be clear and well separated from the President and the Executive Director. Mark Partridge proposes to vote on four items: 1. More time to discuss things at Council meetings; 2. Examination of the selection process leading to the selection of RSAI Awardees; 3. The Nurturing Talent Programme should be enhanced by merging these managements 4. Decentralise decision-making. Motion: these principles are right. A second motion relates to having non-Council members coming from the regular membership. A third motion is that the ED becomes a regular member, or an ex-officio member, of all these committees. A fourth motion is related to having supranationals electing their members of the Honors Committee. Jean Claude agrees Mark Partridge’s summary is a comprehensive one. Neil Reid, André Torre, and Serena Erendira-Serrano agree on this perspective. Kingsley Haines thanks the Strategic Planning Committee for their work. He cautions the Council not to exceed with the number of committees, also in the light of the election procedures. Roberta Capello 4 stresses that the practical aspects of the newly proposed structure should not be underestimated, and also that the Committees would have their own tasks, not to be overlapped with other similar goals that other Council members have. She also adds that by decentralizing many decisions to Committees, this may empty the role of the RSAI Council. Jean-Claude Thill stresses that the Strategic Planning Committee’s proposal is to coopt members from outside the Council in order to stimulate participation in RSAI activities from younger and less accomplished members of the Association. Amit Batabyal reports that he joined the LRPC meeting on Friday, Aug. 28. He tells that Roberta Capello concluded that the LRPC endorses items 1 through 7; he suggests a change in motion 8, so as to populate these new committees with regular Council members in case decent attempts to draw regular RSAI members outside the Council fail. Sandy Dell’Erba asks what the Council is being asked. Mark Partridge replies that supranational organizations would be requested to indicate their elected members on the committees proposed. Tomaz Dentinho says too many committees may overburden the RSAI secretariat with many requests. André Torre writes on the chat he is volunteering for the Communication committees. Likewiese, Sandy Dall’Erba suggests his candidature for the Young Scholars and Diversity Committees. Peter Batey stresses he is happy about the way the SPC evolved its proposals. However, he adds management issues may arise as a consequence. Roberta Capello suggests to proceed with the voting since time is ticking. Patricio Aroca leaves the virtual room at 5.30 pm CET. The vote goes as follows: Motion 1: the Council agrees with the philosophy of the second proposal of the SPC. 13 votes in favor (out of 13). Motion 2: the Committees will draw from various sources, and the Council will be notified. 12 in favor. Motion 3: to create an Honors Committee to look at all the awards’ rules, select the selection committees; 14 in favor. Motion 4: diversity and conclusion committee (4 members from Council; one from outside the Council, i.e. a regular RSAI member; President and ED are ex officio). 14 in favor. Motion 5: Young Scholars committee, where each supranational section picks a member (not from the Council); the ED will be ex officio. This committee has the task to raise and attract programs. In favor: 14. Motion 6: Publication and External Relations Committee, with two Council members onboard, and specific skills as well. In favor: 14. Motion 7: there is oversight with these committees, that don’t act alone. 14 in favor. Motion 8: 14 in favor. At 5.45 CET Eduardo Haddad and André Torre leave the virtual room. At 5.50 Mark Partridge adjourns the meeting.

12.AOB Serena Erendira-Serrano writes in the chat that amendments on her name need to be done. Martijn Smit proposes to host on the RSAI Newsletter an article on the LRPC and how it works.

7 What follows is a final set of recommendations made by the ad hoc RSAI Strategic Planning Committee for consideration by Council at its November meeting.

I. RSAI President We recommend to maintain the term, rotation between supraregions, and executive responsibilities of the President.

II. Vice-President We propose that RSAI appoints multiple Vice-Presidents to include:

- The Immediate Past-President; - The President Elect; - One person from each supraregion other than that of the President, Immediate Past-President, and President Elect

Each Vice-President serves for a two-year term, concurrently with the President.

Vice-Presidents will assist the President in their leadership of RSAI through a division of responsibilities.

President, Vice-Presidents, and Executive Director form an Executive Committee. Each Vice-President serves as liaison and ex-officio member of one or more of the “standing” Committees appointed by Council (Publications, Diversity and Inclusion, Young Scholars, etc). One of the Vice-Presidents is charged with the oversight of the World Congress (a responsibility so far assumed by the Executive Director).

Advantages and motivations for this new setup include:

- Strong continuity with current governance structure - Each supraregion has a voice in the leadership of RSAI at all times - Top leadership of RSAI is more collective and collaborative The governance with multiple Vice-Presidents will require an amendment of the Constitution. It is proposed that revision to the Constitution be put to a vote by memberships in May 2021, to enable implementation in January 2022.

III. Executive Director We recommend to maintain the position of Executive Director intact, except that oversight of the World Congress will become a responsibility to a Vice-President.

IV. World Congress We recommend to return the World Congress to a frequency every four years. Also, it is our view that combined supraregional/World Congress events should be explored and encouraged whenever possible. When a solicitation goes out for the organization of a future event, the possibility for this event to be held as a separate event or as a combined event should be reaffirmed and proposals following either format should be evaluated before a final proposal is selected, with the understanding that combined events will be favorably received.

V. Long-Range Planning Committee We recommend the mission of this standing committee should be reaffirmed as advisory to the President and Council on matters of long-term strategic significance and that its composition remains unchanged.

Annex 4 – 2021 Budget Proposal

As traditionally done each Fall Council meeting, this document presents the Council a tentative budget for RSAI activities in 2021. As anticipated in our discussion in August, 2020 has been a difficult year also for many national and supranational sections. In order to minimize losses for the association, we acted in two directions: • Trying and recovering as many missing fees as possible, also in cooperation with supranational sections, which joined a meeting to coordinate actions in this respect; • Cutting non-fundamental costs whenever possible. The main savings from 2020 are due to: • The nearly complete recovery of funds allocated to the travels of the Executive Director; • The recovery of funds allocated to the Newsletter Editor as reimbursement; • The recovery of unused Nurturing Talent and Building Bridges funds not used for 2020. On the other hand, despite the financial difficulties, the recovery of these funds allowed to fully confirm investment in Nurturing Talent and Building Bridges initiatives for 2021, and to allow room for sustaining potential losses from individual fees that to date have not been collected yet. The potential exposure for 2020 is to date equal to 3,895 Euros, but attempts at recovering these funds are presently being made. The only item that to date has to be considered as provisional is the expected balance of the World Congress. The Chair of the LOC, the RSAI President, and the RSAI ED are striving to ease the transition to an online (fully or partially, depending on the conditions in late Spring 2021) congress, which will likely cause a major restructuring of the cost and profit structure. The numbers presented are the same as in the 2019 document, and will be adapted taking the new financial data into consideration, while guaranteeing a similar balance between costs and benefits for the Association. Finally, the cushion of the RSAI funds would allow a safe landing in case next year the financial situation of both national and supranational sections is not yet secured because of a lasting COVID-19 emergency, especially for sections for which the main source of income is the national or supranational congress.

1. WHAT IS REGIONAL SCIENCE? Regional science is the multidisciplinary study of (i) the socio-economic functioning and development of regions, cities, land use, environment and territorial resources – adopting a spatial -analytical approach to location, allocation and (physical or virtual) interaction of people, industry and human activity in different countries – and (ii) planning and policy mechanisms for designing and governing a sustainable space-economy in an appropriate geographical and time frame; hence, regional science studies the ‘what’, ‘how’, ‘why’ and ‘where’ of human and socio- economic activities in their spatial context.

2. VISION OF THE REGIONAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL The Regional Science Association International (RSAI) is the leading global organization of regional scientists which – on a non-discriminatory and curiosity-driven basis – seeks to achieve and accelerate a knowledge-based understanding of the multiple and complex spatial dimensions of society through the advancement of regional science all over the world.

3. MISSION OF THE REGIONAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL The Regional Science Association International (RSAI) is the home of regional scientists world- wide, which aims to connect, empower, and inspire its members with a view to the creation, mobilisation, sharing, dissemination and application of new knowledge in the regional science field, by (i) organizing regularly scientific meetings (in cooperation with other organizations), (ii) encouraging international scientific publications, (iii) providing career-oriented network opportunities for the next generation, and (iv) providing scholarly service to society at large.

Annex 7 - RSAI Global Scientific Seminar Series

In reaction to the financial difficulties registered by many over this past complicated year, the RSAI management went through possible solutions to further meet our individual members’ needs. The two possible ways to deal with these issues are to either cut fees, or offer a better service. However, on the former solution there seems to be little room for improvement, considering that individuals hailing from Countries in the lower middle income and low income brackets according to the World Bank classification pay to date 2 Euros per member, and that fees have been held constant over the past few years. We thus decided to propose an additional service to the Association. This goes through the creation of a RSAI Global Scientific Seminar Series. The idea is to use the global network of scientific excellence in our discipline and exploit the exogenously driven increase in the use of digital technologies to organize scientific seminar presentations where individuals of the Association in good standing can present their works to a truly global audience, from Japan to the US, from Spain to China, from Morocco to Argentina, from New Zealand to Romania. Papers will have to deal with classical regional science topics, including for instance location theory, urban economics, regional growth, regional labor markets, inter-regional migrations, etc. The rules of the game would be as follows:

1. Structure of the seminars Seminars would be allocated 1 hour, comprising 30 minutes for the presentation, 10 minutes for a discussion (an individual discussant to be allocated to each paper with competences on the topic at hand), and 20 minutes Q&A from the floor.

2. Selection of presenters Proposals of presentation would be selected on the basis of pure scientific merit by a committee, in charge for one solar year (Jan. 1, 2021-Dec. 31, 2021), and renewable by the Council on a similar basis. The committee would comprise four members, guaranteeing disciplinary, geographic, and gender diversity. The Committee will express a positive or negative appraisal of the proposals received and set up a time schedule for the presentation, managing the calendar of events. The Committee will be also responsible for assigning a discussant to each paper accepted, as well as of arranging the online meetings on a platform free to use to RSAI members.

3. Promotion of the cycle of seminars The RSAI will disseminate an updated calendar of seminars through its institutional means of communication, both on the website of the Association as well as via email to all members. Occasionally, the selection committee may co-opt famous regional scientists to present their recent work to the global audience, to further entice members to join the seminars.

Changes in the Editorial Team and Editorial Board and Plan of Issue for 2021 Council Meeting of November 2020 Changes in the Editorial Team Vicente Royuela asked to leave editorial team of the journal because, although enjoying being part of the team, he prefers to concentrate his efforts in smaller number of tasks. Vicente helped a lot in suggesting, editing, reviewing and promoting special issues. I suggest the Council to thank the important work he made for RSPP from 2017 until 2020. The Editorial Team has now 12 members plus the Editor in Chief. Ana Vinuela (Spain), Eveline von Leeuwen (The Netherlands), Gabriela Carmen Pascariu (Romania), Isabelle Nilsson (United States), Katarzyna Kopczewska (Poland), Maria Abreu (United Kingdom), Carlos Azzoni (Brazil), Budy Resosudarmo (Indonesia), Emmanouil Tranos (United Kingdom), Neil Reid (United States), Patricio Aroca (Chile), Tiago Freire (United States) and Tomaz Dentinho (Portugal). Changes in the Editorial Board The Editorial Team of Regional Science Policy and Practice proposes changes in the Editorial Board of the journal from now until 2022 when the second term finishes. Changes take into account mobilizing some of the best academics in regional science around the world that can attend Editorial Board Meetings and that have been a very good support for the development of the journal. The new board is the following:

Plan of Issue for 2021 Table below present the Issues programmed for 2021. We planned six issues in the Application made in 2017 plus the 2nd Issue on the impacts of Covid-19 “Drivers, Impacts and Policies of Covid19.
